I'll have to see if I can find the video that showed how your #2 came to be. It showed small towns growing into larger towns, and highlighted the structure and template for control, like the sheriff and incorporation - one by one, replicated over and over until the entire land was blanketed in a matrix of "municipal control"...
It had a southern "down home" kinda slow pace to the video... which brilliantly illustrated the proverbial "frog in a pot set to boil" sort of creep as it all went down. I'll have to search for it again...
Thanks for the thoughtful insights RTS...
I agree 100%

Wow, Of course it happened that way, slowly creeping ...
It would be great if you can find it and post it here. I would be most interested in seeing it.
